As posted elsewhere, the publishing wing isn't doing that badly, based on their Q2 numbers.
"You know, even in this down economy, we're still making a fucking MINT on video games and movies and action figures of all these characters, and yet, the same Iron Man character who made multiple millions for us at the box office is barely even cracking the 50K mark in monthly sales."
Unless somebody presents them with a surefire plan to completely change the existing market paradigms and says Quesada is in the way of that, there'd be little reason to get rid of someone who presided over a steady increase in sales until the onset of the recession and has kept things going fairly well since.
